Ref Christopher Hitchin's conclusion

"The ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates, taught his students that the pursuit of truth can only begin once they start to question and analyze every belief they ever held dear," said Dr. Pastore. "If a certain belief passes the test of evidence, deduction and logic, it should be kept. "If it doesn't, the belief should be discarded.

"The ruling elite have always tried to mislead the thinking of the masses. Socrates was tried for subversion, corrupting the youth and eventually forced to take his own life by drinking poison. As history tells us, it's never easy to be an independent thinker."

Sunday afternoon

2.30 pm and its a beautiful day! None of yesterday's health worries with sunshine like this.. Actually I feel pretty good, but am not chancing the outdoors just yet.

Listened to a few chapters of Christopher Hitchin's audio book - he is not so easy to follow though, speaking fast and with varying intensity. However, its worth it.

Little of interest on Google Reader so I took the opportunity to clean up the HD1 downloads area. This became a mess  after Speed Download was installed. SD had its own ideas about splitting downloads into various subfolders, and I ended up with 3 download folders (so far). Today I moved all dls to My Book4 and deleted the HD1 copies. Then enabled Spotlight to search & find the latter, though its probably waiting for some idle time before doing so. Thats it for now
